[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 8260109, member: 463"] So, it varies hugely by campaign, and until recently I was normally using published material. My current game is probably over half home-made. For current 5e game: Placing - about 1/5 of encounters will have a Hoard. About half of these are hidden I think, or otherwise hard to get. Treasure without monsters is basically always hidden, otherwise someone else would have got it. I use the 5e Hoard tables, sometimes tweaking the result, usually to give more permanent stuff like a +1 weapon instead of two Rare potions. Typically the party either divides loot at end of session, or there is a treasurer who tracks all the loot, and hopefully divvies it up now and then. Loot division is for the players to sort out IMO.
